Abstract

Using a modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), a study was conducted to investigate the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and intention to use weblogs for learning in higher education. Sixty-eight students of a local university responded to the study. The findings suggested likely acceptance of weblog use if it is perceived to be useful for learning. The paper concludes with a discussion on implications for education.
